TI Economics Lectures 2026
The Tinbergen Institute Lectures are an annual series of advanced PhD level courses. Participation is also open to PhD students and external research master's students.
Esteban Rossi-Hansberg will give the TI Economics Lectures 2026. He is the Glen A. Lloyd Distinguished Service Professor at The Kenneth C. Griffin Department of Economics, University of Chicago, United States. Date: June 1-3, 2026
The topic of the 2026 TI Economics Lectures is 'Advances in Spatial Economics.'
These lectures will discuss recent advances in spatial economic modeling and quantification that enable the study of firm and individual location decisions and interactions across space and time within a unified spatial general equilibrium framework. The framework can be realistically quantified to perform detailed policy counterfactual exercises. These exercises can help us understand the local and aggregate impacts of trade, migration, fiscal, and transportation policies, as well as the effects of regional and aggregate shocks, including those associated with climate change
